Design & Build Quality
The Pro Evo follows the Veil Bar concealed design philosophy with premium execution. Your cartridge disappears inside, protected and hidden from view.
Construction
The silicone mouthpiece and grip feel good in hand. It's slightly larger than the Neo (3.5" x 1.9" x 0.85") to fit the bigger battery, but still pocketable.
The ambient tube lighting glows during operation and shows status. Purely aesthetic, but it looks nice.
Magnetic Closure
The magnetic mouthpiece closure is strong. Really strong. Users say it's "almost impossible for it to get off."
Your cartridge stays put during pocket carry, exercise, whatever. And cleaning is easy: pop it off, wipe down, snap it back.
Color Selection
15 color options: Blaze, Charcoal, Dawn, Iridescent, Meadow, Obsidian, Ocean Depths, Prism, Rose, Zenith, Amethyst, Emerald, Rose Quartz, Ruby, and Sapphire. More choices than most competitors offer.
The 1000mAh Advantage
The Pro Evo's standout feature is its 1000mAh battery. That's the largest in Cartisan's concealed lineup, and bigger than most competitors.
Real-World Battery Life
Users report great longevity:
"The battery lasts for about a week for me."
In practical terms:
| Usage Level | Daily Puffs | Battery Life |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 10-20 | 5-7 days |
| Moderate | 30-50 | 2-3 days |
| Heavy | 75+ | All-day |
For comparison, the 650mAh Neo has about 65% of this capacity. The difference matters: heavy users get reliable all-day use, light users can forget about charging for almost a week.
LCD Display & Puff Counter
The full-color LCD shows you everything: current voltage, battery percentage, puff count (resets at 9,999), and preheat status.
Puff Counter Benefits
The puff counter tracks your draws automatically. You'll know exactly how much you're using, when your cartridge needs replacing, and what your patterns look like.
No more surprise empty cartridges. And if you want to moderate consumption, the data is right there.
Voltage & Power
The Pro Evo has 5 voltage settings with the widest range in the Veil Bar lineup:
| Setting | Voltage | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.8V | Maximum flavor, live resin |
| 2 | 2.4V | Flavor-focused vaping |
| 3 | 2.8V | Balanced everyday use |
| 4 | 3.4V | Increased vapor production |
| 5 | 4.2V | Thick distillates, maximum clouds |
The 4.2V ceiling beats the Neo's 3.8V, giving you extra power for thick concentrates. And the 1.8V floor preserves delicate terpenes in premium cartridges.
Dual Functionality: Carts + Wax
The included Bullet Wax Atomizer EVO adds versatility you don't usually see. Swap it in place of a cartridge, load concentrate directly, and use the Pro Evo as a wax pen.
Wax Performance
The atomizer handles occasional dabbing well enough. It works with standard wax and shatter, uses the same voltage settings, and gives concentrate users a backup option.
It won't replace a dedicated wax pen for heavy dab users. But for occasional concentrate use without carrying multiple devices? Solid bonus.
Additional Features
8-Second Preheat
Double-click for an 8-second preheat cycle at gentle temperature. Warms thick oils for smooth draws and prevents clogs.
Dual Activation
Fire with the button for precise control, or just inhale for auto-draw. Use whichever works for the situation.
Cartridge Compatibility
The Pro Evo fits cartridges up to 14.5mm diameter and 62mm height. That's large enough for 2g carts. Pretty much any standard cartridge will fit.
User Feedback
The Pro Evo gets strong reviews:
"Works great, totally recommend!"
"Worth every penny... been looking for one of these for years."
We rate it 4.8/5 stars. Premium price, premium results.

Who Should Buy This
The Veil Bar Pro Evo makes sense if you want the longest battery life in a concealed design, care about puff tracking, use concentrates occasionally, need higher voltage for thick oils, or prefer buying once instead of upgrading later.
Skip it if you prioritize compact size (Neo is smaller), want minimum cost (Slim Button 280 is $10), need pass-through charging, or don't care about puff counting or wax capability.
The Bottom Line
The Cartisan Veil Bar Pro Evo is the most capable fully-concealed 510 battery we've tested. The 1000mAh battery delivers multi-day use, the puff counter actually helps you track consumption, and the wax atomizer adds versatility no competitor matches at this price.
At $34-40, it's not cheap. But if you want to buy the best once instead of upgrading later, the Pro Evo earns its price tag.
